Forgiving Altar

Forgiving Altar Mod - Update Notes

Version 1.2.0 (March 2025)

New Features:

• Soul Shard: Added a new item called Soul Shard, which is a rare drop from mobs (e.g., Skeletons, Zombies). The Soul Shard is essential in crafting the Forgiveness Stone, a key item to perform the unban ritual.
• Altar Block: Added a new item called Altar Core, which is used in the building of the altar. It is essential to the altar for it to work.
• Forgiveness Stone Crafting Recipe: Updated the crafting recipe for the Forgiveness Stone to include the Soul Shard, Echo Shards, Diamonds, Netherite Ingots, and Enchanted Golden Apples.
• Altar Core Crafting Recipe: Updated the crafting recipe for the Altar Core to include the Soul Shard, Echo Shards, Netherite.
• Ritual Particle Effects Update: Enhanced the particle effects used during the unban ritual, with new glowing aura effects around the altar and enchanting particles to signify the ritual’s success. The altar now emits more vibrant effects, creating an immersive atmosphere during the ritual.
• Unban Process: Updated the unban process to teleport the banned player to the altar and trigger special sound effects like the Wither ambient and a “ding” sound when the unban is successful.

Bug Fixes and Improvements:

• Improved Altar Detection: Fixed some edge cases where the Forgiving Altar structure could be incorrectly detected, ensuring the altar’s activation only occurs when correctly built.
• Teleportation Fixes: Players who are unbanned while offline will now be teleported to the altar properly once they log in.
• Server-side Improvements: Optimized the code to improve server performance, especially when interacting with the altar and handling multiple players using the system.
